"Amazing"
5 stars"

Once you hit 60 pages in this book you'll realise that not only do you have a gem of a book, but that it compares favourably with any other fantasy you've read. The other thing is that from my sources I am certain that the series will be complete, not one that varies widely in quality. Best fantasy I have read in years. Better than Hobb, most Feist, and certainly better than Goodkind.

"Amazing debut novel!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is an amazing first novel by Patrick Rothfuss, and should be a must buy for any fantasy fan, no matter their age. It is masterfully written and makes you care for Kvothe, the main character. Overall, an epic tale.

Fantastic debut novel in what has the potential to become one of the very best fantasy series'.

Deeply immersive characterization and extremely well written. A must read.

Description

'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.

Author Biography:

Patrick Rothfuss currently lives in central Wisconsin where he teaches at the local university. In his free time Patrick writes a satirical humor column, practices civil disobedience, and dabbles in alchemy. He loves words, laughs often, and refuses to dance. The Name of the Wind is his first novel. There will be more.
